im trying to use pyinstaller to convert this python file to a exe file, but whenever i try to do this i get an error in the output. Im using cmd with the auto-py-to-exe command and ive been trying to figure out what this error means but i cannot understand a thing about what is going on.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please help. Everything shown is the information I know.
Here is my code:
import os

from colorama import Fore, Back, Style, init

import getpass
import time
from time import sleep
available_drives = ['%s:' % d for d in string.ascii_uppercase if os.path.exists('%s:' % d)]
init()
username = getpass.getuser()
driveLetter = None
driveFiles = None
fileDest = None
def getDrive():
global driveLetter
global driveFiles
global fileDest
print(Fore.CYAN + "Select the drive to organize")
print(Fore.YELLOW + str(available_drives))
print(Fore.RESET)
driveLetter = input("USB Drive Letter: ")
os.mkdir("C:\\Users\\" + username + "\\Desktop\\Organized Files")
fileDest = "C:\\Users\\" + username + "\\Desktop\\Organized Files"
driveFiles = driveLetter + "\\"
checkDrive()
def checkDrive():
if os.path.exists(driveLetter + "\\"):
textPopup()
else:
print(Fore.RED + "Error: " + Fore.YELLOW + "Required folder does not exist on drive")
print(Fore.RESET)
print()
getDrive()
def textPopup():
print()
print()
print(Fore.YELLOW + "This makes a folder on the Desktop called 'Organized Files', your Files will be put in there")
time.sleep(3)
makeFolders()
def makeFolders():
for path, dir, files in os.walk(driveFiles):
for file in files:
filename, fileExtension = os.path.splitext(file)
if not os.path.exists(fileDest + "\\" + fileExtension):
try:
os.mkdir("C:\\Users\\" + username + "\\Desktop\\Organized Files\\" + fileExtension)
print(Fore.GREEN + "Created Folder: " + Fore.WHITE + fileExtension)

print(Fore.YELLOW + "Copying File: " + Fore.WHITE + file)
try:

print(Fore.RESET)

The command im using is:
pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --console --icon "C:/Users/Sean/Desktop/Misc/Icons/Dort.ico"
The icon for your program needs to be a valid .ico file; it can't be just a renamed .png for instance. Source: this post I found when googling the error.
